Waymo2026-07-25 16:54:29Waymo and Uber end self-driving taxi partnership in PhoenixWaymo and Uber formally ended their autonomous taxi partnership in Phoenix in May 2026, according to a Techub News brief citing CryptoBriefing. The change involved more than 10 Waymo vehicles, which were pulled from the Uber platform and returned to Waymo’s own fleet. The move marks the end of one city-specific arrangement between the two companies, though it does not bring their broader relationship to a halt. In Atlanta and Austin, Waymo vehicles are still available through the Uber app, showing that cooperation between the companies continues in those markets. The report also says both firms see London as a key market for future competition. At the same time, Uber is lobbying in Washington, D.C., against a regulatory proposal that would favor Waymo. The developments point to a relationship that now mixes ongoing operational ties in some cities with direct competitive and regulatory friction in others.1910
